My niece has spent the last 15 years of her life travelling around the world based out of Australia, it has to be said she’s seen and done many wonderful things, things that aren’t here in New Zealand but now she’s back here and is spending some time seeing her home country and is very glad she has, working as a travel guide and doing her own adventures during her downtime she seems happy to be back.
I’ve really been enjoying your entire Drive The World series this year, but your NZ leg is bringing back so many memories...love that land! My Dad and I did a road trip back in 1991 on both islands, and I have to say that the Kiwis are impossibly friendly people, and their islands are perfect for scenery-hunters and driving enthusiasts, alike... What a people, what a country. Love NZ...cannot wait to return someday..! Amazing drivers’ roads...from harrowing, twisty gravelled mountain passes to straight-line V-Max valley roads...if I remember, we had a purplish, manual Mitsubishi Lancer hire car out there, and the sheep traffic-jams were enormous! No sheep on your NZ leg? How?!? I’ll never forget ringing the bells with Dad at Christchurch Cathedral on a Sunday...thank you, Sam! 👍
Well that's not quite true now is it ? There is another island even lower than the south island thus Inverness isn't the bottom more like the ... I forget the islands name not that important :)
@@ilovetool1 the Maori's can call the place whatever the hell they want, or they can pronounce Wanaka however the hell they want to....But to the rest of the world the place is known as ... Wanaka.
So the rest of the world knows better on how to pronounce Maori words than New Zealanders do? Do you also tell the Chinese how to pronounce Mandarin and the French to pronounce French etc? Are you Australian by any chance?
As an Australian, I find New Zealand absolutely.......AWESOME!! Such a pretty country, friendly locals, great food, top shelf wine. All just a couple hours flight from Sydney. Love it there.
1:01 Are you kidding me? That view is amazing! I've got some very distant relations in NZ, looks like I might have to go over and introduce myself at this rate!
Your videos are just great! The angels you choose, the way you put the parts together... The quality is beyond everything you get from all the other youtubers and even most of professional car series! Enjoy your trip and also take a brake from time to time. 😉 we will understand if there isn‘t a video for a few days if the quality stays as is it now.
You missed the chance to take the ferry from the North Isle to the South isle and then drive down the west coast of south island to Queenstown. World class drive. And half way down you bypass 2 glaciers. Which you can hike over or fly over in a chopper. Possible to do alot in 2 to 3 weeks, if you have the cash to spend.
@seenthroughglass : Great Video Sam! Makes me want to move back to NZ! What’s the name of that excellent intro song in this video?? Can’t Shazam it... :( Want it bad!
Absolutely one of my favourite places to visit. I can't vouch for the north island but from my experience the south island definitely looks more spectacular in winter than in summer.
Great vlog Sam. Sham you couldn't have spent longer esp some other great drives and cars (Highlands etc). But glad you took my (and others) advice re Crown Range. Imagine that in the 360! If you're in CHCH for a while drive over to a Sumner or a day trip to Akaroa.... Another great drive and different South Island views - a little more like the North Island!
The initial videos were okay but I was not too impressed. now you have turned the dial way up. This is awesome keep up the good work. The videography and photography is amazing. Jamaican influence is all over the world! 🇯🇲. Even the musicians in New Zealand
There are so many amazing roads, I have a cute little toyota MR2 that I got for my trip when I went to NZ. There is a great road called pig road from Dunedin to Queenstown, and also Milford sound cool drive!
I rented a car and drove the north Island, final destination, Hobbiton. I agree with you. The roads on the north island are incredible and the scenery, from a driver's perspective, is way more interesting. In my opinion, New Zealand Is prettier in the winter, in most cases.
Visiting my home country 🇳🇿...South Island certainly the more picturesque...Next time head to Nelson and the top of the south...Abel Tasman National Park is a must see.. Hope to see you back sometime soon.
Any chance you have been thinking of organizing, “Seen Through Glass”, Porsche tours? Currently there are no official Porsche Driving Experiences for New Zealand.
You should have stayed an extra couple of days and done some more roads around Wanaka (pronounced Wonaka). The road up to Treble Cone is a beaut. No woosy Armco and the views spectacular. The Queenstown to Glenorchy Road is majic too. I met a NZ Ferrari Cub who were on a drive there two Easter’s ago. There know a good road or two. Still, you’ve a reason to go back. Thanks for the great pictures. I notice you didn’t mention the Sherwood where you stayed at in Queenstown. Could’ve recommended better.
Im quite sad you didnt explore more! You missed so much of NZ! Tauranga, Taupo, Blue lake/Red Woods Rotarua, and the best of them all, WELLINGTON! The coffee capital! Oh and there are nice cars everywhere as a bonus :P

Sam your videos are underrated man. Keep the videos coming! Your video style is unparalleled
You just bring all my good memories of the road trip to South Island I took 2 years ago. The colour of Lake Pukaki just blew my mind.
Sam your videos are getting better each day - thanks for sharing an amazing trio with al of us.
I dont skip ads just for you Sam. Cheers from an American

The south island is stunning!
Fantastic camera work and travel vlog - keep it up Sam.
Lived in Wanaka for a year, one of the best places in NZ
The cinematography of your video's are captivating thanks for the hard work you do.
His camera skills and video editing is magical !!
I went to the south island in winter, best holiday ever. All that brown turns into gorgeous white

I totally agree mate! Absolutely a missed chance...😞
Sounds like he's been paid off by the North Island too if he thinks it's better than the south. Mattttte ya Dreaming!!
I can't believe he drove straight past Highlands. That track is amazing, and the car collection has plenty of Gems.
You are giving me travel goals Sam. Keep these videos coming. Best content on TH-cam.
Watching this is the best hangover cure
Keep up the good work Sam. If Vicky is ever bored maybe she could be in charge of your youtube comments and throw a few hearts out there?

There is a Aston Martin Vulcan in the museum at Highlands Motorsport Park. Relatively unassuming place for an insane car.
I always watch vlog and videos in my phone but these kinda videos I wait until I watch em on my TV
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SAAAM ❤️
South Island is the ‘coolest’ place on Earth! 👍😀
Those retakes are funny as can be! Loved it! Brilliant vlog of kiwi land too btw!

phenomenal content Sam!
awesome groove by the drummer 16:32 tho
Another great vid Sam
I was just thinking that as you said it at 4:45 -- reminds me of the hills around Monterey, California and Laguna Seca.

You need to do just a drive NZ you have missed so many great roads..... Give yourself a month next time.
Would like to know the name of the band playing on the festival... Cheers mate!!
aye north island all day!!!
the north island is underrated
you're gonna have to come to Colorado on your US leg if you like the scenery. You can climb a mountain almost 3 times the altitude lol
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't pikes peak in Colorado?.
